Waseda students - Japan (LOC)

    The scene makes me think of a location possibly in Hawaii, because of the structure and barren soil, obvious temperature in the air and the wind...Hawaiian trades, summertime or early September before the weather commits to larger surf and moisture builds up again. Additionally the crossover of cultures, Hakama and Keiko gi with Boat Hats...then the sticks and especially the one held by the middle man...it may be the exposure but it appears to be a boken, the other stick a rattan or bamboo tango...and though the shot is staged both men have their weapons leading...not exactly on the fighting line but near enough...both gedan position...a very difficult position to enter against.

    Presumably Cyrus Hall McCormick Jr. (1859-1936): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_Hall_McCormick_Jr. ETA: Nope, it's his son--see Jon's message below.

  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks pennylrichardsca and wystan for the information. I looked into Mr. McCormick and I believe it is Cyrus McCormick Jr.'s son, Cyrus McCormick III. In other photos of McCormick Jr. from this era, he already has a white mustache. The Wisconsin Historical Society has the McCormick collection which includes some nice photos of the various family members.

Fish Curing on Clare Island

    Could this group of well-dressed people be from the Congested Districts Board as Niall McAuley suggests? I was wondering that myself, but am unsure about the involvement of women... It would be a fantastic capture of CDB people in action. But they may just be tourists.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Interesting group watching the work, obviously visitors to the island. I took a look for photos of the actual CDB members, and there are a few in the nli archive, but they look maler and moustachier than this group:

    What a superb image! Never seen so many wooden barrels in one place
    (nearly said 'plaice'!)!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, and there's a distinct lack of moustachiness in this group. Just one fine example of beardiness...
